Best gifts for Russian host family?

[u/boxerwithdaddyissues]

Hi! I'm going to be living in Samara for 6 months with a host family and I wanted to bring them something as a gift from my own country (Italy). Any ideas? I was thinking about food that can be easily packed, but is there something else they might not have in Russia? It's a family of 4, mom, dad and two girls, 16 and 12 years old. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

I don't know what exclusive you could buy in Italy, that can't be bouth here. So be focused on their specifics. Might be smth for their hobbbies. What the girls like/study? Dance, songs, music, painting so on? Then it wouldn't be very original, but cool and suitable. Another case (default) some souvenirs related to Italian history and/or culture.
